Here is what we did for Destination: UK

The Lil Divas really enjoyed the simple version of this book I read to them.

In fact, they liked it so much I bought the larger version with more of his adventures and am looking forward to sharing it with them as well.

TP Roll Paddington Bear

This was a very simple craft but it turned out so cute!

You can even use your finished product to retell or act out the story.

What You Need:

TP Roll

red and blue construction paper

glue

permanent marker

What To Do:

1. I trimmed a bit off the top of the TP roll to use for the arms.

2. Make a jacket from blue construction paper & glue on.

3. Cut a small space at bottom to form feet.

4. Make arms and glue on top of jacket.

5. Make a hat from the red construction paper.

6. Add face and other details.

So cute!

Dish: Cinnamon Chip Scones & Cucumber Sandwiches

The Lil Divas and I enjoyed our very own Tea Party complete with cucumber sandwiches and scones! It was our first time making and eating scones and they were a hit with the entire family.

I basically used this Cinnamon Chip Scone recipe from Sweet Tooth. I used this Maple Glaze Recipe from Around My Family Table. I found the entire scone recipe very doable even with a 6 and 4.5 yr. old "helping" and the scones were a huge hit!

We also enjoyed making (& eating) some fresh & simpleCucumber Sandwiches

It is traditionally done with butter but we used some cream cheese because the Lil Divas were not keen on the cucumber alone. I figured the slight modification was better than them not trying it at all.

The girls thoroughly enjoyed making the food

& then sitting down to afternoon tea!

Be sure to visit the other blogs participating in Around the World in 12 Dishes to see what they made!

Cute cute cute Padding bears! I felt so guilty, I threw out my first toilet paper roll yesterday because our collection is so huge. Now I feel like I threw out a potential bear! Your scones look awesome. I absolutely love cinnamon, so it's nice to see an easy cinnamon-y recipe :-)

What a great craft! I didn't realize they had a simplified version of the book. I loved the books when I was young and I was given several of the chapter books at my baby shower, but put them away until she was older. And we always love tea parties here. Thanks for sharing!

I just requested this from the library so we can start on Paddington, especially since she has been using my old and very loved Paddington stuffed bear as her teddy. Thank you so much for sharing at Sharing Saturday! I hope you had a great week!
